Caught it this afternoon, and I actually thought it was really good. Better than I expected actually. I've heard some putting it almost on par with the first Iron Man, and I could see that. It is a different type of movie (from Iron Man), sure, but I thought it was really well done.

That was sort of what I was thinking when I left the theater... these comic book movies can be really good like Iron man or inexplicably bad like Fantastic Four or the first Hulk. It's all about the tone and direction I think. Thor was on the better side of that scale.

Saw it last night. It was good. I have no idea what the thing after the credits is (even after reading the above posts) but I love that Marvel does that. I also really enjoy the Stan Lee cameos.

SPOILER ALERT

........

Apparently that thing at the end is supposed to be the Cosmic Cube. In the Marvel Universe, this is a devise that can essentially alter reality (think a modern version of a genie in a lamp). Loki inadvertantly first brought the Avengers together in the comics, so sounds like they're keeping that aspect, but incorporating the CC as well. I don't know where it came from, but the cube was tied to a creature called the Super Adaptoid at one point - a creature that could mimic the abilities of anything it saw. He was one of my favorite baddies as a kid, so I hope this is a sign that they're bringing him into the movie.
